Really excellent! And I love the end of the video with some humor! Keep up the great exploration of music!!!!

[@metalstorm7506]

I love it, it's amazing !As a Bulgarian myself i take it as a huge compliment to have my country mentioned in such a beautiful tune ! What is the backstory behind the title, if it's not too personal to ask ? Cheers, Anika, your music is amazing and inspiring

[@matts9]

YOu are one of a kind! Love all your stuff!

[@aarone6483]

Everything about Anika Nilles is awesome.

[@bigp733]

Awesomeness is you.

[@sickdrummer3831]

Yes sir. She’s a great drummer.

[@michaelyakson9953]

So true Aaron

[@DpstudioBiz]

Aaron E Agreed.

[@user-iw4kf8iz8t]

Не существует лучше её

[@synthrev848]

This song is amazing, besides the drums the melodic motives and the harmony sounds incredible. Such a fan, I think this one and Mister are truly my favorite tunes

[@newsoundacoustics7973]

I just watched a video where the girl was half naked playing a guitar. I love that as beautiful as Anika is she makes it about the music and not exploitation. What an amazing musician one of my all time favs.

[@dr.ksukelessons4397]

I don't know anything out Bulgaria, but after listening to this, if I ever visit I think I will enjoy the nights.

[@peevee605]

The sound of her kit reminds me of Jeff Porcaro RIP. And the groove is spot on. Awesome.

[@jeffsienkiewicz7119]

Mother of god..... I NEEEEEED that orange kit... 🤤

[@zaqueugomesdefarias3345]

That's what I call a perfect match!!! Perfect musical, and perfect female drummer . Anika Nilles!! That's all about it!!

[@baronbarbaron]

Greetings from Bulgaria !

[@Gweechichii]

I love literally everything about this video, Anika is by far and away one of the best drummers out there. Everything in this video is perfect, except the raiders hat.

[@adamlock458]

Oh my! Amazing again Anika! Those drums, that sound, that song... pure perfection!

[@Yann-nd9qj]

Salut maestro géniale batteur ,les anges se sont pencher sur votre berceau anika vous avez un très grand talent mais il y a une chose que l'on aprends pas vous avez un don ! Vous êtes l'équivalent d'un Billy cobham Merci pour tout ce que vous faites

[@michaelzajac8007]

Never seen anybody Play the Drums like this gal. Amazing to watch, shes so versatile and quick and Smoothie. Use every piece of her drumkit in ways you wouldnt Think of. Innovative to say the least. Wow!

[@OleMartinHelgesen]

Wow, this track luckily came up as a recommended on Spotify! I admire Dave Weckl, Simon Phillips, Gavin Harrison and Marco Minneman a lot, and I instantly loved your energy and style too! But the most important thing is how everything comes perfectly together, great composition/melody, great band, great flow, beutifully delivered! Looking forward to explore more of your work, and hopefully see you live in Norway!

[@kensurrency2564]

Gaddamn nailed it

[@spencerblood3515]

Awesome video, she's got mad skills!!!!

[@FG-fk6jb]

She is one of a kind, probably the only one, who deals with these crazy complex rhythms with such an ease. It's like she's got several Swiss clocks in her head, each one running precisely but still following its own pace, but somehow when combined all together they weave such intricate unconventional patterns, that continue magically and unpredictably interact with each other, creating all those masterpieces. There are many wonderful drummers, but Anika's truly unique creative style is instantly recognizable and makes her incomparable.

[@robloxsuchti7655]

"probably the only one" ....... you don´t know many drummers , right? :D :D :D :D

[@anykmusic]

FG54 ❤️❤️❤️ appreciate your words and I’m super happy you like it!! If you have some more minutes left, check my dude Joel Turcotte, Maison Guidry or Chris Coleman. You’ll have fun! Big hugs!

[@FG-fk6jb]

@@robloxsuchti7655 I've just expressed my own opinion about what I see, for which I'm fully entitled without being judged by self important 'experts'. Off course, you are entitled to your own opinions too. If you are such an expert, then please share some of your knowledge, instead of resorting to snarky comments.;D

[@mak4rno]

Holy molly, you just play the music my heart was waiting to exist.

[@Absolomthecarnivore]

My favorite lady drummer by far!

[@James1Hiscox]

Well, Anika never disappoints. Always a pleasure seeing a new song pop up.

[@seanadams69]

Killer control, technique and no shortage of sheer ability here 🔥 Go giiirrll!

[@barrycomer3688]

Neil Peart said - the best thing you can is inspire someone - this is inspiring.

[@ismaelavila613]

Just hearing play motivates me to work harder 🙏🏻💯🙌🏻

[@zxdm_ab2958]

This is the way a live band performance is suppose to sound like.

[@germaneiro]

[@RodrigoRaez]

Go Raiders! Anika...? Just WOW!

[@randy4ii411]

I love how sometimes it is hard to sometimes get the time of a song and the thought process behind it , it challenges the mind. Love this one.

[@olavvandenhogen5951]

Similar style of playing like Matt Garska! And that's a huge compliment! Great Anika!

[@kevinbrinkley374]

I mostly agree with this. Huge compliment indeed!

[@DrumTeacherManila]

“Lemme get a mic check on the snare.” Anika: 😏😏

[@Jtdubbzz]

I love her. She’s so talented. Beautiful sounding kit and cymbals. The song and drumming is perfect, so happy reminds me of Peter Gabriel or something

[@leonpadida8996]

Thank you Anika ... you, your music, your talent and your creativity are very inspirational. All in the love of music!!! You are one of those musicians that make other musicians like myself want to be better. So thank you again for sharing. Keep up the great work! Peace Love and Respect

[@drumsman24]

Seeing you being inspired by odd groupings & time signatures, I was wondering if you knew about our folkore.. Until today when I saw this video. :D Awesome stuff, Anika! Much love from Bulgaria! :)

Super!!

[@diegodogliotti2031]

Excelente !!

[@Noname-xi7xi]

I used to play drums but it's been over 30 years since I last used my drum sticks. Sometimes I think of going back and start playing again but, just then, I watch a new video of Anika and think I should definitively pick up my drum sticks and burn them. I truly realize I have no buisness behind a drum kit any more but I live my dreams through yuor magic and your art......Danke Anika.

[@gjcart26]

Absolutely wonderful..

[@nitinsingh7308]
